Refund policy
1. Factory Seconds & "As-Is" Condition Many of our products are sold as "Factory Seconds," "Downgrade," or "Ex-Yard Stock." These items are sold with known imperfections (such as rust, scratches, dents, or weathering) which are reflected in the discounted price.
-
No Returns for Known Faults: We do not accept returns or refunds for imperfections that were disclosed at the time of sale (e.g., listed in the product description or visible during inspection).
-
Inspection: We strongly recommend inspecting all "In-Store" and "Factory Second" items personally at our Jimboomba yard before purchasing.
2. Change of Mind & Over-Ordering We are not legally required to offer a refund if you simply change your mind or over-order materials. However, we understand that estimating building quantities can be difficult.
-
Over-Orders: If you have purchased too much stock (e.g., bought 10 sheets but only used 5), we may accept a return of the unused portion at our discretion.
-
Restocking Fee: A restocking fee of 15% may apply to all change-of-mind returns to cover handling and administration costs.
-
Condition: Returned items must be in the exact condition they left the yard (e.g., not cut, drilled, or painted by you).
3. Major Faults & Warranty (Australian Consumer Law) Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure that was not disclosed as a "Factory Second" condition.
-
Example of a Valid Claim: You bought a "New" roll of wire and it is rusted through inside the packaging.
-
Example of an Invalid Claim: You bought "Rusty Cattle Rail" and want to return it because it has rust on it.
